It’s a journey not a trip!

Hey yall! How are you? I’m sure you’re as happy about this warmer weather as I am! Spring and winter had a fight and winter won…lol. I’m just saying… it’s been an unusually long winter and I for one am ready to enjoy this warmer weather.

And with that being said….its strawberry season again! I have been so busy at work that I haven’t gotten a chance to really enjoy them this season and it’s almost over. Ive made 4 pies. Enjoy them while you can!  Just as you should stop and smell the roses, enjoy, participate, be creative, do something different or out of your comfort zone…enjoy the moments of your journey. YOLO! You only live once! 

On a other note, gardens are planted and if not they will be soon. There is nothing better to me than fresh spring veggies from the garden. No worrying about what’s in your food. Simply because you or someone in your family has grown the best produce in the world right your backyard or in my cousin’s case…planters because she has extremely sandy soil. But she was determined to grow something and her garden boxes are looking great. 

I wish I had a green thumb.  Unfortunately I’m not so lucky when it comes to plants. However I have some exceptional gardners in my family and they always send me some goodies.

I’ve been working on several recipes with an Asian theme for my cookbook. I’ve also been creating a lot of cakes.  So bear with me during this time. I’ll have some new recipes for you soon. In the mean time….love your family and friends, be kind to strangers, and always extend a smile. You never know how your smallest kindness will impact another individual’s day/life. Cook for someone you love! 

These are some of my latest projects. Let me know what you think…enjoy life and each other! Talk to you soon!

Hi, I'm Sheca and cooking is my largest passion. Who says you can't love more than one thing...or at least try other things...food is the love that binds us all together. We all have to eat! So please take some time and cook with those you love. I'm a 40 something mom, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. Basically...I'm just like you. The woman who goes to work 40 or more hours per week and still finds the time to cook for those I love. I'm a country girl...a southern country girl at that and proud of it...lol...I was raised in a small town on the coast of North Carolina near the awesome beaches in Brunswick County. You know the place when you drive through and blink, you may just miss it. I'm okay with that. I've come to enjoy the quiet peace that my hometown offers me after a long work day in Wilmington, NC. I'm surrounded by family! Thank you for checking out my blog and I hope you enjoy the information I place here. Maybe even learn something along the way or get a good chuckle or both. Laughter is food for the soul, we all need that in our lives. View all posts by Sheca Cooks
